 That could explain why the Audi did so well too in braking.

| Re: L'Équipe: Audi A8 4.2 vs BMW 750i vs Jaguar XJ8 vs Lexus LS460 vs MB S55 I'm really surprised of this test result! Especially the Jaguar is fare better then I would ever thought. Also the acceleration is with 6.0 seconds faster then Audi!!  Isn't the Audi also build out of aluminium?!Last edited by ree; 02-05-2007 at 10:24 AM. |

| Re: L'Équipe: Audi A8 4.2 vs BMW 750i vs Jaguar XJ8 vs Lexus LS460 vs MB S55 The funny thing is though, I really want to like the LS460L. The car is a true luxury car and compared the LS430 it looks so much better inside and out, but it just doesn't push the right buttons. My favorite Lexus remains the IS350 and the upcoming LF-A. M

| Re: L'Équipe: Audi A8 4.2 vs BMW 750i vs Jaguar XJ8 vs Lexus LS460 vs MB S55 Lexus always seems to have fundamental flaws like a small boot as well as bad brakes that many of their fans overlook. Now we've seen several reviews mentioning its brakes, I hope they will address it soon. MB deserves this win. It does it perfect unlike any other.
